But what do the Oilers' brass do? Make him captain of this exhibition tournament! Let's pile more pressure on him!
It's like they are completely unaware of their prior mistakes with respect to handing the kids the keys to the city. COMPLETELY unaware.
The ongoing, REPEATED incompetence, and organization-wide, accepted expectation that things will simply work themselves out (it isn't our fault, just bad luck), is astounding.
Beyond belief, this-can't-possibly-be-real, levels of astounding.

Agree completely on the tournament ... pointless.
But with the Oilers I have to admit they don't have any one else. Ideally you'd like to avoid heaping pressure on the kid, but they don't have a guy that fits that mould at all.
Man are the Flames lucky that Giordano was around for a rebuild.
